Called on 5/18. Answered the phone after the third consecutive call from them. Answered and heard it ringing in the other person. Heavy foreign accent. Stated he was calling from the state department. I told him that no he wasn't and to take me off of their call list. He said OK and hung up. Scam for sure. I do not live in a state with 209 as an area code.
This call states it is from CA but I am sure it is from a different country by the dialect which was very hard to understand the broken ENGLISH. Something to do with taking meds when pregnant-I have never been pregnant.
The call is not coming in from the U.S. and the number on the Caller ID is spoofed - its not the actual # of the caller and is not originating from a CA cellphone.
DO NOT ANSWER THEIR CALL. THEY HAVE ALREADY SCAMMED PEOPLE.
They buy phone lists and call randomly. Its happening more and more. That much we know as its still under investigation. They have scammed people and are being investigated. Until you can block the # don't answer the phone or return their call. When you do block their # they will just call from another # but go ahead and block it anyway or do not answer.
I hate spam/telemarketers on my cell phone. being on the "do not call " list doesn't help at all anymore. the weasels always find a way around things like that. sigh.
call just came in, very thick indian accent identified a John ya right. Asked for me by first name, he only identified himself as calling for a medical reimbursment.. would not identify what so called medical claim or co. I hung up.
